TRASH ORDINANCE #347

On June 20, 2006 a new trash Ordinance #347 went into effect for the City of Port St. Joe aimed at improving the health, safety and appearance of our city.  We ask that all residents join in this effort to make our city an even better place to live.

The full text of the ordinance is available at city hall.  Listed below are the highlights of the ordinance and the points that affect most of our residents.  Please take a few moments to review this sheet and keep it for future reference.  If you have any questions, please contact city hall.
